Lyrics
Christmas Dread words and music by Jayson Dyall 2024 (Chorus) Don't spend too much cash on Christmas Save a dollar or two for the Spring Don't buy too many gifts on Christmas No matter the short-term joy it brings (Verse) Commercialism at its worst Made to feel like an obligation We fall for the Christmas Curse To fatten up the corporations We’re told to spend, it just pulls us in To keep up with the expectation Then bills arrive, and we’re stretched too thin We’re trapped in forced participation (Chorus) They say we must give for Christmas Doesn't matter what our wallet holds They push the guilt until it breaks us Then leave us out in the winter cold (Verse) We celebrate Christmas with dread and fear It's Benjamin Franklin's face they see The reasons for the season disappeared Traditions have fallen to corporate greed Whether you believe in Santa or Christ It's all about the gifts nowadays It all comes down to getting the best price Christmas lost its meaning along the way (Chorus) Don't spend too much cash on Christmas Save a dollar or two for the Spring Don't buy too many gifts on Christmas No matter the short-term joy it brings (Bridge) Each year we follow the same old trend The cycle, it will never end It never ends, it never ends, it never ends, It never ends----- (SOLO BREAK) (Chorus) They say that we must give for Christmas Doesn't matter what our wallet holds They push the guilt until it breaks us Then leave us out in the winter cold (Chorus) We lose our minds each year at Christmas We miss the mark, and we overspend We max our credit cards on Christmas Then wonder why we are broke again (Bridge) Each year we follow the same old trend The cycle, it will never end It never ends, it never ends, it never ends, It never ends----- (SOLO BREAK To fadeout)
